lesser topup lanes now. lazy topup at atm. damn

nice

They even close down the one at Sungai Besi.



You want to encourage people to use it, then you should make it convenient for people lah.

agree.

who cares i got maybank card autoreload

one time i reload at a mall they got open a counter, but then got extra charge some more, and didnt even tell beforehand. macam sial

autoreload la brah.zing kad kan ada

who cares i drive like mr bean. follow front car closely and i dont have to stop and pay

Would be good if they remove all the toll entirely. The traffic will be even smoother.

lol

I always reload at KL Sentral counter.

make more reload centre.
not just selected petronas.. haizz =_="

You can reload at quite a lot of ATMs too.

reload at ATM got service charge RM0.50 anot ?

those retards... they should convert more cash lanes into TnG/smart tag/reload...

and prolly make tunai (normal car) drivers pay extra 5% or something...
if majority use TnG/smart-tag, traffic would be so much smoother

wah u want them to increase some more ? the current rate is already very high, for some ppl who travel to work by car need to pass like 2 toll to reach office and back, they are paying RM1.6 per pass and RM6.4 per day, and per month paying more than RM140, and that is like 10% of salary for many ppl. Why dont u suggest give discount to TnG since 5% of RM1.60 is RM1.68 and they are paying cash, and the 8 sens will be scale up to 10sens, instead of go to digital of full amount -8 sens in TnG card ? Oh do u work for plus ?

only retard drivers still paying cash....we should have erp system like singapore for better traffic

the good news is, every lane at PLUS now have touchngo

this happened to me once, i was on my way to kl from penang, so i plan to top up touch n go at juru. arrived at juru and found no topup lane. so i plan to stop at the next petrol station to top up.

first petrol station (rnr bukit semanggol/bukit gantang i cant remember) i went, i cant top up, system offline. so move to next petrol station. same story. then i move to another petrol station, same story, system offline. this time i cant take it anymore, i call plus and ask what is the purpose of touch n go on the first place? why promote the system if you dont complete it with topup facility? she suggest me to exit at kuala kangsar and go to their customer service centre to topup, which is inconvenient for me to make an exit just to top up. i want a smooth journey, not a journey where i need to stop to topup touch n go.

why i dont use bank facility to topup touch n go? because i think the company who runs highway from north to south and keep promoting their plusmiles and touch n go will have even better facility to topup their own card. i think wrong.

lol... one lane for topup..was wrong wit tat

Wrong comparison, they aim for different purpose, Singapore ERP is to prevent traffic, u arent suppose to pass it, and you are strongly discourage to pass. And our highway is exactly different, 100%, they WANT you to pass, they will close alternative roads, manipulate traffic lights of nearby roads, playing with road sign, do whatever necessary to make sure you use the road, they dont really care, that is the best for you or not, they just want to make money, traffic smooth of not, definitely on their want-to-do list but its at the bottom of their list.

what i meant was just auto debit...but the thing is if no cash toll booth then many sakai no job

I got an idea, upgrade our nation with many hidden CCTV and move your sakai to watch these systems, improve our security while maintain sakai, good ? wah... we really sakai.

i'm saying increase for those tunai guys, so encourage them to get Touch N Go

6.4 a day only whut... i everyday pay RM12 toll >_>

so u are paying more than RM250 monthly, thats double or triple of roadtax, u want to pay more ? why dont u just suggest TnG gets 5% discount and smartTag gets 10% ?

inb4 in Lima Kedai Toll at Johor all lane use touch n go..no lane for ticket or cash..

My TnG card ran out of money. And I didn't top up for 2-3 months. Why? Most of the toll plazas I passed by didn't have any more top up lanes. Even if there were, I was already so used to back to paying cash that I forget to top up.

And I don't think I bank with any banks that can use their ATMs to top up. The banks are -
Maybank, AmBank Bank Muamalat, RHB Bank, CIMB Bank and Public Bank. Furthermore, they charge RM0.50 per top up.

QFT

And bangunan BSI toll. RM2.70.

y so cheapskate must reach toll only reload?

stupidest idea ever.

this one better idea.

CIMB dont charge. topup rm50, get rm50.

the idea to give discount for tng holder is good. but you think they will implement it? they only know how to make profit and use the profit to bribe police with lancer and inpira.

better close down tolls. Settled

just wanna comment the bolded part above..

why don't you topup before you start your journey? so much excuse!

Need to look for a place to top up lah. Sometimes you are already rushing to start a journey.

A top up lane would be convenient.

PLUS may reopen top-up lanes

PETALING JAYA: Top-up lanes at PLUS toll plazas may be re-opened to enable motorists to top-up their Touch N Go (TNG) cards.

The top-up facility at the toll plazas in several areas was suspended in July to enable PLUS to observe traffic flow during peak hours.

PLUS corporate communications general manager Khalilah Datuk Mohd Talhar said its personnel were observing traffic movement at the plazas.

“In the meantime, motorists can still top up their cards at customer service centres at designated toll plazas,” she said.

She said PLUS had worked with TNG to open up reload counters at several petrol stations to offer an alternative channel for reload without charges.

“Users may also choose to reload their TNG cards at selected ATMs for a fee,” said Khalilah.

The closed TNG reload lanes were at the Subang, Batu Tiga, Sungai Rasau, Jalan Duta, Damansara, Sungai Besi, Juru and Skudai toll plazas.

Graphic designer Khaider Yusof, 23, said it was inconvenient for users to go to petrol kiosks just to reload their TNG cards.

“If I am driving on the highway and do not have enough balance on my TNG card, I can just reload at the toll plaza.

“Now I need to go to the petrol station and am even charged 50 sen as a service fee,” he said.

Human Resource executive Faustino Mundaw, 24, said it was a hassle to look for a petrol station to reload.

“In fact, they should have added more reload lanes.

“One is stuck if the reload system is offline or they are out of reloads,” he said.

Reload ATM got 50 cent charge. Reload at petrol station got 50 cent charge. So in other words reload not at tols or tng counter pay 50 cent.

want to reduce traffic during peak hour?

force everyone to use TNG then you will get smooth traffic

after T&G being sold to CIMB from UEM, PLUS sees not logical for the Tambah Nilai to be operating in PLUS lanes..

now u can top up in selected CIMB ATMs FOC yo.. no moAR rm0.50 charges

I don't have a CIMB account.

Many ppl compolaint toll expensive , I would say the more the raise the toll price the better . You guys only think bout own pockets .. Got anyone think bout the bangla who clean the road n the workers that fill up the hole on the road so u have smoother journey? If a cow or dog dead on the road who going to clean?

Not included those plus tow car tat provide free tow incase ur car broken. Say is easier to do , so many complaint why no ppl no go register be calon bebas and fight for wakil rakyat post since election is coming?all care bout themselves only , go and experience serving ppl .. I always walk to nearest lrt station to topup my card and malaysian mentalilty is want the thing to appear in front them only .

I don't know what's your point. The Bangla worker gets paid to do his job. And PLUS and other concessionaires are making very healthy profits despite having to hire the Banglas and the tow car drivers.

no man.. chances of encountering noob driver stuck at TnG toll gate will be higher

cannot liao. because toll company want hard cash rather than credit.

you will understand how a country will be run if there is no tax imposed on their people.. same goes to toll

Talk about tough n go. Last week..i was heading to The Curve car park and i decided to use the TNG for parking. But when i touch the reader, the gate did not open and thus i have to take ticket and park inside The Curve. And later in the evening, when i use the Smart Tag...the toll gate did not open and the reader indicate " KAD TIDAK SAH".
So the next day, i went to Bangsar South and told the TNG officer about the problem. He suggest me not to use TNG for parking as recently there are lots of issues on parking.
So my question is: Why TNG integrate with shopping complexes if there are so many problems?

u live in cave never heard of Touch 'n Go Spot

touch and go reload machine:

and bank atm machine?

never use TNG for parking u get charge more... i only use it for my smart tag.. nothing else..

without toll, we won't have streetlights,

the hole in malaysia's road will increased as well. ( you wanna drive in a highway suddenly got a hole there? )


main reason from Gov : reduce printing parking tickets
